These come out very light and airy. I like a fried dough that's a little heavier, but my Portuguese grandparents thought they came out perfect. The dough is tricky to work with- it's very soupy. I added 1 cup more flour and it was still the consistancy of pancake batter. Next time I think I'll add some lemon zest to the dough for a little more flavor. All in all, a very good recipe.

My Portuguese mother made malasadas. Now I can share these wonderful delights with my friends in Ocala, FL. This recipe is perfect!

I followed recipe exactly but my dough never thickened enough to knead. It was more like a thick batter. I just dropped spoonfuls into oil.

Made this with my gluten-free flour and they turned out soooo yummy! Definitely time consuming though.

These were delicious. I made the dough up early in the morning, with counter-top rising rather than fridge overnight rising. The dough was too thin and sticky to work with by hand, so I just used two spoons to scoop the dough into the oil. I put the remaining dough in the fridge for 24 hours, and the donut consistency the next day was even better.

These turned out just like the way my mom made them. They were eaten up in no time by my husband's family. Thanks so much for posting the recipe!

I ate too many of these, but I do not regret it. I think it would be really good with some lemon or orange zest added to the dough, or perhaps to the sugar used to coat the donuts. Cooking temp is very important.

I made these malasadas. They were better than average. I am sure with some practice, they will get even better. The dough was a little soupy, so I added a bit of flour. I could have mis-counted the flour, but I really should be able to count to 8. We only have a half cup measure. I cooked them on the stove in a skillet and in a fry-daddy. The fry dadddy would only hold one at a time, but the temp was perfect 340 degrees. The pan on the stove help 4 at a time but was really hard to keep a constant temp. I used a digital temp probe (sneaky).
